CnrlIsle ON sherman.

Ex-Speaker Carlisle has been interviewed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer in regard to the
speech made by Senator Sherman at Nash
vile, or at least the Enquirer publishes
what 1t says is an interview with Mr.. Car
Isle.
We would like to believe, for the credit
OF the country, that the interview is q
bogus one, and that no one holding so high
an official position as that lately occupied
by Mr.. Carlisle would be guilty Of such an
outrageous attempt to mislead the public
mind.
In discussing what Senator Sherman
said upon the tariff question, Mr.. Carlisle
says that the average collection on all
the dutiable goods imported into the coun-
try last year was 46 per cent. Of their value,
aud then he says
II the people of Tennessee were compelled
to pay annually into the treasury of their state
iG per cent upon the value of all their taxable
property, they would not listen with much
patience to an argument for a continuance of
the burden, no matter what the pretext might
be. The fact that this enormous rate of taxa
tion is imposed upon the aiticles which they
are compelled to eat, drink, aud wear, instead
cf their lands and houses ami other property,
docs not mitigate the severity in the least de-
gree, but really aggravates IT, because the man
Of small means is often compelled to pay more
than the man OF large means II is a tax upon
consumption, and not tax upon property
Here is the direct assertion that the IG
per cent. Of average imposts is direct tax
upon the consumer to the full amount of
the duty. Mr.. Carlisle knows better than
that, and he merely hopes to impose upon
the ignorant, as he and his free trade
| friends have been doing in the past.
Fortunately the people of this country
| are beginning to understand the sophistries
| Of such would.be political economists as
Mr.. Carlisle. Twentyfve years Of protec
tiop, with every protected article cheaper
now than it was in the days of free trade,
is the best answer to such unblushing
statements as that made by Mr.. Carlisle,
Gnd every man in the country knows, Mr.
| Carlisle included, that every manufacture
Of Iron, wood, glass, wool, cotton, earthen-
ware, or silk is cheaper to-ddy than 1t was
when the country, under Democratic ,Fule,
had free trade or q tariff for revenue only
| The duty levied upon an article that is
not and cannot be produced in this country
is tax, and these are the articles, such as
coffee, tea, and sugar, which revenue re.
formers like Mr.. Carlisle would raise rev
enue from.
Mr.. Carisle's language is plain attempt
to deceive the people, and Is unworthy any
man holding his position.

The Ordnance Foundry.

Secretary Whitney has determined to
make tie Washington navy yard one OF the
est equipped ordnance foundrIes that can
lie found in the world. He has million

Secretary has shown in dealing with the
guCstIols Of gun forgings and steel armor
Plates u at lie is a man who knows how to
liess 10 4 Succtssiul conclusion what he
Cctuu ines ON.
This conclusion of the Secretary is OF
Cl,it lmT ortarce to the local interests OF
Washington. The benefits will commence
at once IN limited degree, because more
than n thousand Skilled mechanics aud
lRLorors will be soon required for the work
that is 10 Ire done now.
But the employment of thousand, or
for that matter, Of two or three thousand
mtp, as will be necessary in very short
time, Is not the only or the greatest benefit
that Washington aud it's environs ia TO reap
In the near future from the establishment
OF this ordnance foundry.
The fact that the government has selected I
this as the best place ut which TO establish
large manufacturing establishment will
induce capitalists who are desirous Of en-
tering into any species OF manufacturing
business to examine the capabilities of the
place and see what advantages 1t possesses
as place Of business for them.
Whenever this Is done it will be demon.
strated that there is no part OF the country
that offers greater facilities for profitable
investment in various industries than the
banks OF the Potomac river, from Great
Falls to Alexandria, and Washington,
whether factories are situated within its
corporate limits or few miles up Or down
the river, will be vastly benefited.
The ordnance foundry itself will grow

EARTHQUAKE PHENOMENA.
An Important Paper on the Subject
Promiaed by Cant, Dutton.

Capt. Clarence L. Dutton, chief Of the
bureau Of voltanic geology Of the geologi'
cal survey, will read paper at the next
meeting Of the National Academy, which
takes place the third week in April, embody-
ing the results Of the study of an immense
mass of data upon the Charleston earth
quake. lie does not propose going beyond
well proven facts as to the nature, origin,
and influence Of seismic phenomena, but he
believes that the material In hand will,
when fully worked up, add much to the
mass Of human knowledge regarding the
facii Of disturbances, the rate Of motion OF
earth waves, and kindred points Of scientific
interest, and that It will be especially
valuable in suggestions for the obser.
vations and study of future phe-
nomena. The advances made latterly In re-
spect to knowledge of earthquake phe-
nomena may be illustrated by single
point. The recorded rate OF motion OF
earthquakes of hietory varies from 5000 to
SEQ meters per second. The data upon the
Charleston disturbance proves eonclusively
that its earth waves travelled 1000 and 5000
meters second, while French journals at
hand containing observations upon the
Riviera shocks gives rates almost as high.
1t is not to be supposed that modern earth
QuakCs are more energetic than their pre-
decessors, but II Is certain that modern
methods and opportunities give safe results.
